The A.I.R. community mourns and lovingly remembers Maude Boltz, one of our co-founders who passed away recently. Maude’s artistic repertoire, which spans for over five decades, was most known for her work during the 70s where she worked with combined found materials like rope, fabric, leather and sheep wool to interpret memories of her rural childhood. Through her use of diverse mediums and techniques like watercolors, painting using palette knives, and manipulated computer technology, Maude was constantly reinventing her work, a testament to the timelessness of her art and her talent as a prolific artist.
